Sad and funny (all at the same time) follow-up to this story.  Great to see that a charitable cause was helped by this activity but it apparently sits in the BJ's craw that their team of former players lost to our team of former players.

 

I occasionally go over to their underground for chuckles and they didn't disappoint.  This game wasn't even on my radar.  I saw the blurbs about it happening but it obviously didn't get any play over here at all other than the OP in this thread.

 

And the only way that I know the former Huskers beat the former Bluejays is because they seem to be a little pissed about it.

 

One of their posters says the rosters favored us:  "The Huskers won in the pick-up game, and they were the "favorite" the way the rosters ended up." 

 

Really?  You guys are worried about which team of no-longer-playing-college-basketball players won?  Wasn't this for charity?  Does it matter who won?

 

And then, even better, another of their guys chimed in with:  "Can anyone confirm or deny that they are celebrating this win over on HuskerHoopsCentral as the biggest win in program history?"

 

I'm sorry, but sour grapes following a pick-up game for charity involving some former players is about as low as it gets.

 

Particularly funny because this obviously wasn't even on any or our radars.  Like I said, sad and funny all at the same time.

They are truly pathetic.

Well,it isn't the most important win in program history, maybe top 5.

I'm sure Drevo was the best player on the floor...
